When branches cut the trees down
From their elbows to their knees now
Leaving final notes for those who
Care enough to read
Act surprised
When fires burn at freezing point
Whispering their words
Collecting victims endlessly
By yellowred alert
Act surprised
When mirrors let you know
In no uncertain terms
That what is closing in on you
Is every penny earned
Act surprised
When fumes of faded bodies
Travel through the air
Reminding you of paperwork
And endings unprepared
Act surprised
